Abstract

A novel micro-fluidic whole cell biosensor for toxicity analysis based on bioluminescence detection was developed. The optical part of the biochip was modelled and simulated to optimize the total light collection efficiency and the system response. The optimization elucidated some of the optical aspects of the biochip. A study evaluating the bioluminescence reaction kinetics was performed and revealed the interdependence between the detected bioluminescence and the physical parameters of the introduced toxin.
